Does that mean he’d have to stay in the championship?

It always rains on him either way.

Why’s that?

I think Preston will get at least a point tonight meaning Leicester will need something on the final day to win the title. Even if they don't, we're not getting anything there so I don't think it matters. We're totally reliant on one of the teams below us not winning. It's therefore not in our hands on the final day in reality.

I'll personally be keeping a very close eye on the Plymouth game as I think that's the key one.

Absolutely no reason why we can't nab a point which is all we need, coming after the Leeds result I'd say you're a kinda half empty glass type 😉

4-1 Leicester.

You can bank of Sheff Wednesday beating Sunderland because the latter are awful.

Birmingham will beat Norwich and for some reason I can so Plymouth getting something against hull.

We are down and we probably deserve it.

Plymouth need to win - not just get something.

We've won 3 games all year in the league and it's now nearly May so I'd say it's pretty justified in being half glass empty with this team 😄

I think expecting us to lose makes complete sense.

It’s the expectation (not talking about you specifically) that all other results will go against us which I don’t understand.

Yeah, I realised & just edited my post. Bravo sir.

We're very lucky that Hull and Norwich still have a lot to play for (Norwich will definitely want to finish 5th and get the easier play off semi) Agree we won't get anything off Leicester but it's Birmingham or Plymouth to drop for me.

Do we go for it against Leicester, or sit back defend and be under immense pressure till the whistle. If we go a goal down, I would throw the kitchen sink at them with an attacking formation.

North End are 2nd bottom of the last six form guide with only Rotherham below them. I love how they collapse each season. Their fans are genuinely long suffering.

That's been the problem the last 4- 6 weeks of the season, losing and depending on other teams, simply not good enough. Our home form merits relegation, winning only 6 all season. If we stay up we can thank our lucky stars and try and strengthen the squad in the Summer.

Are you sure your not a Burnley supporter in disguise with that comment.

Just wondering, did you predict that Hudders would beat "nothing to play for" Swansea and Birmingham would beat "already down" Rotherham?

Or us to end Leeds unbeaten home record.

[Bbrovers2288]

I think we go for an early goal, would relax us immensely if we have a 2 goal buffer 

[Polky]

Leicester currently 1-0 up at Deepdale, thanks to Jamie Vardy.

[danger19_80]

Better if Leicester get it done today. Might field a few kids on Saturday.

How many have Plymouth and Birmingham won though?

[Torgeir]

I don't believe for a second Leicester will be taking it easy against us. We need some luck like we had against Leeds away, but our best hope is that the three teams below us on the table don't do their part.

Both have won five.
